We have been MATCHED with two precious little boys from Burundi, Africa!!!!!!

Frank is 5 years old 💙

Blaise is 3 years old (turning 4 in March)💙

They are biological brothers and are less than 17 months apart!

Team Barker is soon to be a party of FOUR!!!

We received the email that we were matched with our little boys while we were on the transplant floor at Baylor for my 5 Year Annual Appointments.

The same floor that in 2014 we found out that so much was taken from us.

Feet away from where we got devastating news in February 2014—we found out five years to the date that Redemption came in the form of these two little blessings—our future sons.

Friends— God is so kind. If you are in the midst of suffering. Stay steadfast. God has collected my many, many tears since 2014 and heard my cries and my hearts desire all along. He stored my tears and has redeemed what I felt like I had lost. He didn’t have to but I’m so thankful He did.

The MOST important thing I want you to take from this announcement is that God is still God in the dark and in the light. In the valleys and the mountaintops. He’s always been good regardless of how our journey turned out. He is our steadfast JOY!

Trust us—we cannot wait to show these precious boys to you one day soon! 💙💙

We would love for you to continue praying for us on this adoption journey as there is still much that lies ahead. And if you feel lead—donating to our adoption fund as we continue to save and raise funds for bringing our boys home!! 🇧🇮 ❤️ 🇨🇱
